The physics of soft matter - materials such as elastomers, gels,
foams and liquid crystals - is an area of intense interest and
contemporary study. Moreover, soft matter plays a role in a wide
variety of important processes and application. For example, gel
swelling and dynamics are an essential part of many biological and
individual processes, such as motility mechanisms in bacteria and
the transport and absorption of drugs. Ferroelectrics, liquid
crystals, and elastomers are being used to design ever faster
switching devices. Experimental studies, such as scattering,
optical and electron microscopy, have provided a great deal of
detailed information on structures. But the integration of
mathematical modeling and analysis with experimental approaches
promises to greatly increase our understanding of
structure-property relationships and constitutive equations. The
workshop on Modeling of Soft Matter has taken such an integrated
approach. It brought together researchers in applied and
computational mathematical fields such as differential equations,
dynamical systems, analysis, and fluid and solid mechanics, and
scientists and engineers from a variety of disciplines relevant to
soft matter physics. An important outcome of the workshop has been
to identify beautiful and novel scientific problems arising in soft
matter that are in need of mathematical modeling and appear
amenable to it and so to set the stage for further research. This
volume presents a collection of papers representing the key aspects
of the topics discussed at depth in the course of the workshop.
